Hi there. My experience with this unit is that it can get pretty hot. 600 degrees. The problem is that if you cook at that temp a lot the unit won't be all that durable. I think for the price this is a great grill but it will self destruct above 500 degrees.

The dial goes up to 390 degrees. I normally use it @ 375 and I've checked it with a separate thermometer and it was right on.

If you can set it higher then 260 degrees then it's in fahrenheit mode. If you press the temp button you will see that Celsius is set lower then fahrenheit. So when it's 375 F it'll be like 190 C. When i first got this i had to toggle back and forth between modes just to make sure i had it right . hope this helps

Mine stayed in. My problem was the machine would over heat and shut off. They did send me a replacement but did the same thing. So I just can't set it on the highest setting.

It does NOT maintain oil heat well. When you add food to cook, it will lower quickly. The temp counter shows high temp but is actually lower. Adjust it slightly and it will then show correct temp again. It goes to 375F.

The lower the temp the warmer it is. The fridge seems to run very cold so a 2/3 setting should help.

I use it at 350 all the time with no issue. Can't imagine 375 would be a problem, but have not used it at that temperature.

I believe that it says use up to 375 but I have used in a 425 degree oven without a problem

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)

Hi Donna, I have used mine many times at 425 degrees without any problem. It does not have a non-stick finish, but I find that spraying it with cooking spray helps keep food from sticking.

I had to send mine back. It did dot get hot enough. It was taken the food 3 times as long to cook

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

The highest setting is 375 F. No mention of lowest setting in packaging or instructions.

it was my first attempt too...unfortunately, it is my last with them... According to every website I have looked at for temperatures reguarding the boiling point of mash, it is around 173 to 178 degrees..this unit pulls a temp of 191 to 198 before the mash comes to a boil...it runs way hotter than what it should. I even replace the analog thermometer that came with it, with a digital thermometer...it made no difference... I wanted a still I could learn on..unfortunately, I chose the wrong still & company...may the buyer beware...as a side note...my wife has already told me we are getting a different setup from a different company...good luck...but beware!! it was my first attempt too...unfortunately, it is my last with them...

I can only tell you, I tried to set it on warm and sometime it would work. I melted the end of a spatula on warm. I returned it to the the mfr.and it was replaced with a same griddle with a black cooking surface that works fine. I am sure that the first one was defective and based on comments I have seen, it's not the only one!

I haven't used it any higher than 375 degrees for Johnsonville sausageto brown them, and it browns them nicely. I've also used it for thin sliced chicken breasts with bread crumbs and they also turn out nicely browned. Hope this helps.
